A car bomb killed at least 11 people in the Somali capital of Mogadishu on Thursday, police said.
The blast on a busy road destroyed two restaurants and cars parked nearby, Euronews reports.
“The blast destroyed a restaurant and killed many who were inside and outside the restaurant,” said police major Mohamed Hussein.
“The death toll may rise,” he added.
No-one has so far claimed responsibility for the attack but Al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab militants have targeted the area in the past, reports Reuters.
On Saturday, 15 people were killed in two explosions and a gunfight between al Shabaab militants and security personnel in central Mogadishu.
